Chapter 503 Appearance Fee
Chapter 503 Appearance Fee
Liang Qu stood at the window.
After the rain, the sky cleared up, a rainbow bridge connected to the sky, and the uneven green reeds swayed in the river breeze.
Li Libo and Chen Jiechang split into two groups, one heading towards the city and the other towards Yulan.
Look beyond that.
On the Liuguang boat, the soldiers tied hemp ropes in their hands and poured water with buckets to wash away the footprints and debris left on the deck.
A large number of toilet buckets, beds, and spare clothes were transported down for cleaning and drying.
The snake demon saw the servant woman walk less than half a mile and sink the toilet bucket into the water to clean it.
The waves created by the rising and falling of the mahogany barrel spread in all directions, startling several snakes so much that their scales stood upside down!
Lan Viper was furious and rushed forward.
boom!
The blue-gray iron chain was stretched straight, shaking like thunder, and the few raindrops remaining on it bounced into white vapor, fluttering in the air.
The laundry woman was startled, glanced at him, and brushed even harder with the brush in her hand.
"We need ice cubes, fresh vegetables, fresh meat, green beans, rock sugar... Oh, by the way, watermelons will be on the market in mid-June, right?"
"It's on the market, with both red and yellow hearts."
"It's said that melons from the north are sweeter in the south. Come... 5,000 kilograms. Too much will go bad easily."
"Okay, five thousand kilograms of watermelon." Li Shoufu held the scroll in his hand and wrote it down, "How many days will the King of Yue stay in the palace? I will have people prepare it."
"It will take three days. You can prepare it the day after tomorrow. We will charge you according to the market price."
Zhang Xu, a subordinate of King Yue, put forward the demand, and the people of Hebo were responsible for recording and local procurement.
"Mr. Zhang, I heard that the peaches in Huaiyin Prefecture were famous far and wide. Why don't you buy some peaches for us to try on the way?" Several young men came up to him, arm in arm, laughing.
Zhang Xu turned around and said, "Li Zhubu, as they said, are there any peaches?"
Most of the young people on the boat were from the King of Yue's family, or were attracted by the talent-seeking notices on the road and got on the boat through competitions. They had real skills, so their simple request of a few peaches would undoubtedly be met.
Li Shoufu shook his head, looking apologetic.
"Peaches can be harvested in large quantities in August every year, and the earliest is mid-to-late June. Some places may have hairy peaches now, oh, I forgot one crop, there are no honey peaches, but there are yellow peaches. The early-ripening ones will be on the market for half a month."
"Then give me some yellow peaches."
After adding two more supply requirements and confirming that nothing was missed, Zhang Xu talked about the most important thing about coming to Pingyang Prefecture.
"The King of Yue wants to set up an arena and a literary hall in Pingyang Prefecture, which will include a martial arts test and a literary test. No matter what realm or strength you are in, as long as you pass the tests and examinations set by the King of Yue, you can board the ship and go to Ningjiang Prefecture with us. Once we get there, we will make arrangements for you."
The King of Yue was granted the title of Ningjiang Prefecture, which gave him the power to establish a government. He needed a large number of people to fill the manpower and run the government, so it was well known that he sent out a letter seeking talents.
Li Shoufu was not surprised and licked the ink to record.
"I wonder what the King of Yue wants for the venue?"
"It would be best if the written test could be held in a certain academy. Please ask the teachers in the academy to screen the essays. For the martial arts test, just arrange a large enough martial arts arena. Anyone with a skill can come and try it. Please send someone to spread the word."
The martial arts test and the literary test...
Liang Qu took in the conversation between the few people, listened for a while, then turned around and went downstairs.
The Martial Saint seeks talents. Putting it on others is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. It is a rare and excellent opportunity in this life.
But to him, it had no appeal.
We have passed the stage of grabbing every opportunity.
People were coming and going in the hall.
Xu Yuelong and Wei Lin were still "defending" their answers, with sweat on their foreheads under the candlelight.
At first glance, it was impossible to tell how many red circles the two people had received, like a chain lock.
Go home first.
The people who were tortured were the chief and deputy chief, and had nothing to do with a small Hengshui envoy.
Liang Qu patted Long Lingxiao, changed into a black casual suit, blended into the group of busy civil servants, and went out through the side door.
The path was full of puddles and half of my boots were covered in mud.
"Liang Qu!"
Liang Qu looked up and saw a figure squatting on the corner of the eaves, blocking the glaring sunlight. He squinted and looked closely.
"Guan Congjian?"
"I've been waiting for you for so long that I didn't even have lunch." Guan Congjian, holding his official uniform in his arms, jumped down from the eaves of the second floor of the Hebo Office. "I invited you to fight in June. I sent someone to send a special invitation to your house. Didn't you see it?"
Invitation to fight?
The young people around Zhang Xu triggered the key words and all looked over, sizing up the two of them. They were surprised to find that they could not see through their strength at all, and even felt a vague sense of oppression.
how come?
Several people looked surprised.
Zhang Xu was observant and understood the minds of young people.
There is no other reason, it's just the desire to be competitive.
A group of young people in their twenties, who don't want to see the vastness of the world, pass a simple martial arts test, and board the Martial Saint ship, their tails can really be raised to the sky.
Just take the opportunity to knock.
"Zhai Yunqiong, Bian Yuanchong... Although you have been selected to board the ship and are worthy of the title of talented people, you must not underestimate the heroes of the world. You must know that there are always people better than you.
Pingyang Prefecture was specially set up by the Holy Emperor. The Three Law Courts, the Demon Hunting Department, and the River and Lake Office were all parachuted in to tackle the tough nut of the Ghost Mother Cult.
I don't know much about the heroes in Pingyang Prefecture, but I can see that the two men in front of me have strong energy and vitality, which is far beyond the reach of people of the same level.
I'm afraid none of you can beat any of them!"
Bian Yuanchong glanced at him sideways, neither servile nor arrogant: "Master Zhang, your words are too exaggerated, and they will only boost others' ambitions."
"Not necessarily. Maybe I didn't explain it clearly." Zhang Xu circled his index finger and smiled. "When I said I can't beat you, I meant you can all come at me together!"
"?"
The reeds sway.
The dense white tide pushed up onto the shore, overturning the wet fallen leaves.
"I saw it, but I'm not interested."
Liang Qu said the following half sentence and took a step forward.
"Five hundred taels!" Guan Congjian followed, walked backwards, and spread out his five fingers. "Let's have a sparring match. No matter whether we win or lose, I will give you five hundred taels of silver! Call our master, it won't hurt you, you can rest assured."
Liang Qu kept walking.
Guan Congjian threw his official uniform over his shoulders and spread out his ten fingers.
"One thousand taels! One thousand taels should be enough, right? The Tianbo auction will be held in two days, and you never know what good things you'll find. This one thousand taels is all you need!"
Liang Qu paused and said with a smile: "Go get me a precious plant that is similar in appearance but different in characteristics, and I'll think about it."
"Similar but different?" Guan Congjian was stunned. "I heard that you changed your life twice. Is that the case?"
"Correct."
"Hiss, are you kidding? A pair of inferior flowers would at least be worth a great merit. Where can I get them for you? No, no!"
"Don't want to do it? Then there's no need to fight. The rainy season is coming. As the Hengshui envoy, I am personally appointed by the Holy Emperor to be a pillar of Dashun. I am very busy."
Liang Qu climbed up Chishan Mountain and rode away on his horse without giving Guan Congjian a chance to speak.
Guan Congjian wanted to chase after him, but he felt it was too embarrassing to chase after Ma, so he stood there depressed.
It is acceptable to have sudden enlightenment while riding the wind, but it depends on everyone’s state of mind.
But we were clearly observing a strange vision together, and this kid actually gave birth to a fairy island on the clouds!
Irritability!
If you don’t fight, your thoughts won’t be clear!
Zhang Xu watched the red figure leaving from afar, then looked at Guan Congjian. An idea suddenly occurred to him, and he stepped forward and bowed.
"Did the young man earlier ask for a double-lived flower?"
Guan Congjian raised his eyes and saw the badge. Even though he was facing the subordinates of the King of Yue, he felt depressed and unhappy.
"Why, you want to send me off?"
Zhang Xu looked back at the young people behind him and said with a smile, "That's not a bad idea."
Guan Congjian's eyes lit up.
